Research and Interests

I am a clinical psychologist with a particular focus on women and gender issues. Recently, I have pursued four main areas of interest: (a) anger and gender; (b) qualitative research and critical analysis; (c) violence and social context; & (d) narratives of French feminists discussing their contributions to the evolution of gender theories and critical analysis. Over the past ten years, I have conducted much of my research collaboratively with colleagues at two French universities–Université de Grenoble and Université Vincennes-Saint Denis (Paris 8). A great source of inspiration for me has come from coaching many undergraduate students to create collaborative research projects­ while facilitating presentations of their research at major international and national conferences. In addition, I have enjoyed supervising a number of graduate theses and dissertations and presiding over a doctoral defense at the University of Grenoble.
